Directions (1- 5): Rearrange the following seven sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) ,(F) and (G) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions given below them:
A. When the foreign cost of living index is less than 100 it is said to be negative.
B. The basic question in such cases is: should this negative index number be reflected in the expatriate's remuneration package?
C. While many companies do not respond to negative indices, many others feel strongly that if a cost of living index falls below a certain level, eg 90, it is sound policy to reduce remuneration.
D. Indeed, such a policy is simply an extension of the principle of equity in payment practices
E. Proponents of the recognition of negative indices feel that the windfall benefits that accrue to an expatriate who is transferred to a cheap location but kept at an inappropriately high level of remuneration puts him at an unfair advantage vis-a-vis his colleagues.
F. And ultimately the overseas experience may prove discomfiting to him if he upgrades his standard of living to a level that he will not be able to maintain on repatriation.
G. Still, the application of negative differentials remains a highly delicate subject, and corporate practices in this area vary considerably.
